Oblix at The Shard (London Bridge)

• The restaurant is on level 32 of the building and is run by Rainer Becker
• Hinting at the pyramid shape of the Shard) is different however
• The executive chef is Fabien Beaufour
• The lounge is to the left
• The lounge bar is of a similar size
• As even on my lunch visit the restaurant was packed out
• Again the dressing was carefully constructed
• Main courses were less successful
• 16) cooked on a rotisserie was pleasant enough
• Garnished with rosemary and served with skordalia (a Greek dish of mashed potato with garlic)
• The chicken was cooked well enough but had limited flavour (12/20)
• This was still better than duck with mango chutney (£
• Had distinctly overcooked duck that was also quite salty (11/20)
• A little better was pecan and chocolate bar with bourbon ice cream (£
• A restaurant in this striking location could get away with serving pretty much anything
• For a restaurant group with the experience that this one has
• It was a pity that the cooking consistency was not better
• You enter this grill via the kitchen literally which is a great show confidence
• Chicken and seafood offset with delicate flavours
• I had Scallops and Sweet Corn (the Lobster Ceviche was finished unfortunately)
• Mango and Passionfruit with a beautiful Basil Sorbet
• Not much I can say as it was quite an average experience overall
• An hour before our dinner (which was quite impressive in itself)
• To be honest Oblix was a secondary motive for me but all that changed when we entered the place and the hostess took us to the lounge area
• It was obviously packed as it was almost 9 PM on a Saturday night
• We saw the drinks menu but since there was no place to even stand we decided to order the drinks at the table
• I mean imagine sitting in a swanky restaurant on the 32nd floor of Europe's tallest building and your table is 20 feet away from the nearest window
• This is literally the best beer I have had in my life
• I will highly recommend this to anyone who is a beer person
• Mint and Pomegranate with a side of Mac and Cheese
• They kept us busy with some complimentary bread and butter
• I could sense I was in for a treat
• This goes in top 3 amazing meals I have EVER had (not exaggerating) and that was not just me
• The food truly was a pleasant surprise
• Pecan and chocolate bar with bourbon ice cream"
• So the very second my main course was beautifully presented within a feet of me I knew it was going to be special
• I have had black cod in Zuma and other places this was something else
• It has to be one of the best fish dishes I have ever had at a restaurant
• The coriander salsa compliments the delicate fish and it takes the flavours to the next level a decent medium bodied white wine to go with it is a must
• Even the mac and cheese was spectacular
• The whole point of going to a nice restaurant is good food more than anything else they do that really really well
• Went expecting no more than a beautiful view but was incredibly surprised to find the food and service were nothing short of amazing
• Tried and was very impressed by the octopus with grapefruit and avocado starter
• Hand made ice cream (bourbon pecan ice cream was the best)
• The place has a splendid bar with extremely polite hosts and bartenders taking care of your drinks
• We had ordered the chicken and the whole sea bass with fennel and olives and I must say it was top notch
• The place is steep with its pricing but I guess the view from the restaurant makes up for it
• I love London and I believe one of the best ways to see the city is from a high vantage point
• When the course was over Theresa moved back to her home town of Bristol but missed the sights and sounds of the capital city
• A very foggy day meant the views were less than spectacular
• All the starters were small and light
• The dishes at Oblix are fairly simple but everything is cooked to absolute perfection
• We rounded the meal off with a coffee and a pick and mix jar of sweet treats before heading up to the Shard's tallest view point
• In fact it was worse as were now more level with the fog and clouds rather than below it was we had been at Oblix
• The place can be enjoyed along with a group of friends or even for a romantic evening with a loved one
• If you are a whiskey drinker the Americano is a must try or just any different liquor from their menu
• The bar set up is beautiful and the bartenders are so skilful that they grab your attention
• Since Oblix at The Shard (London Bridge) is way too popular it is usually crowded on weekends I would suggest a weekday evening with your loved one
• Don't forget to click pictures with the beautiful scenery behind you
• Saying that it was delicious and the service was great
• We weren't at the window but our waiter moved us to a free window table for our dessert which was a nice touch
• The food here is really good
• Excellent service but the magical part is the dessert bar Mamma Mia
• Only thing that bothered me was that I had no cell coverage on the top and their WiFi isnt very good
• I completely agree with the previous negative review above regarding their service
• This shows that there is a huge scope of improvement in their service
• We only ordered a few drinks and even that order was messed up real bad
• The service charge which was charged extra was a little too much at 13.5 %
• The drinks we ordered wasn't exactly what was brought to us either
• The service was spot on and it is a perfect place to spend your Sunday evening
• The ambience is lovely and the music played in the background is enticing
• Lobster Pappardelle is superbly delicious

• We started our meal with some fabulous tidbits from the small bites section of the menu including fried padron peppers (£
• The padron peppers had been sprinkled with crispy panko crumbs that gave them a lovely crunchy texture
• Accompanying the peppers was a salt and balsamic powder that provided a nice touch of seasoning and an acidic contrast
• The devilled eggs were also gorgeous
• They had been topped with slices of aromatic truffle that heightened the flavour of the eggs

• The risotto was also a little runny and could have done with a greater intensity of flavour

• Less enjoyable was the doughnuts with bacon and a maple and caramel sauce (£

• Oblix at Shard has ensured with this experience that I will be going back to Oblix definitely in my next trip to London
• Dining on the 32rd floor with an incomparable view of the London skyline
• We were there on a saturday evening and the place was definitely happening
• As we wandered along London Bridge we were taking photos of the Shard and thought
• The door people were really friendly and said they could fit us in for dessert
• The doorman was super helpful he went off and found a place for us in the restaurant section which was much nicer and less pretentious than the bar section
• The restaurant was really nice as you can see the chefs preparing all the meals as you walk through the restaurant and see all the meat and produce on display
• So onto the food the dessert menu was very tempting
• We settled on a pecan nut and chocolate bar with crunchy walnut bourbon ice cream and a caramel rum cocktail
• Chocolate bar with the walnut ice cream was delicious

• Little bits of caramelized pecan were garnished on the side which added extra crunch to the dessert
• Now onto the cocktail it was caramel ly but not overly sweet

• Overall it was a great night with the lights of London shining brightly below us making a great backdrop for the food &
• We were seated against the window opposite the kitchen and there were some really tasty smells coming from the kitchen
• This was by far one of the few restaurants that took my breath away with the magnificent views it has to offer of the tower bridge and the London eye

• The starters and desert buffet was very diverse
• Focus on the pictures here and if you think they look nice it is because it was all nice
• Visiting this iconic structure in the middle of London was a tick off my bucket list but fine dining in it as well was completely unexpected
• From the minute you arrive till you leave you are attended to by a host or hostess and your waiter
• The portion size is not as huge as its price but funnily enough the portion sizes are complementary and satisfactory from the starter to dessert
